Halo Infinite Spartan Ops

Assuming this will be the last Halo game that we play as Master Chief, and that the game is open world. I think that Chief will either die or sacrifice himself at the end of the campaign putting an end to his story. After the campaign to continue exploring the open world you take control of another spartan, but have it like Halo Reach where you can change the look of your spartan. You then get a secondary story like we did with Halo 4 Spartan Ops. You get sent on missions to clear out a forerunner or ancient human structures of any covenant/ banished forces, search for forerunner artifacts, defend human bases from covenant/ banished or flood attacks, etc. I think this would be an interesting transition after the campaign. What are your thoughts/ Ideas?

If Infinite is in fact an open world then it would be a shame to not use that world for extra Spartan Ops-esque missions post launch.

I liked SO for its story, not for its game play so that would need to get more interesting this time around. I’ve said this before but having short missions like we had in ODST would be perfect. And just center it around a few side characters that explore different parts of the story during and after the main campaign.

Chief is most likely fine…343i wouldn’t be stupid enough to kill off their main flagship character. Spartan Ops was ok in Halo 4 but it felt forced, rushed and most of the levels were just rehashed campaign/multiplayer maps so I’d rather they focus on getting the main game done for the vs, main campaign then focus on the next Halo. I don’t think we need a ‘please do the same objective’ 10+ more times with the same 3-5 maps to watch 1-2 minute cutscene. I’d rather they just do what Bungie did with Halo 3…and just focus on the main game, then the spin-off Halo 3: Odst instead of trying to cater to side content that feels rushed.

Let’s not assume this is the last halo story that will include the Chief. He is the face of the franchise similar to Mario and Sonic.

Yeah it would be amazing I agree because I liked our own little missions and with open world there is a lot of potential

I’m talking about it from an open world standpoint where certain areas are blocked off till after campaign is completed.

I might be wrong but I’m sure when 343i took over they said that they were making three games where we play as Chief. Halo Infinite would be the third game.

They went back on this before 5 if I remember correctly, around the time they stopped referring to the new games as the reclaimer saga. They also dropped the trilogy idea at that time so Chief will be around for a few more years.

Yeah I had looked that up. They went from Reclaimer Trilogy to Reclaimer Saga.

I seriously don’t know how people are still coming to the conclusion that this is the last Halo as the chief.

There is always the possibility of it being. Not saying it is. Just adding that for the sake of the idea of playing a different spartan doing missions on the halo ring assuming that the game will be open world.

Great point, and I remember that now that you mention it.
